calories in e-juice?

[starla]

was just wondering if their is any calories in vaping?

PG by itself is 400 calories per 100g.

So not much even if swallowed

Most sweeteners in e juice are non calorie sweeteners.

The flavors will vary by the ingredients and absorbtion

PG has 570 calories per 100 grams (roughly 96ml). VG has 432 calories per 100 grams (roughly 80 ml). So, a typical 70/30 PG/VG mixture would have approximately 565 calories per 100 ml (and a weight of about 108 grams). Flavoring and nicotine being negligible and usually dissolved in either PG or VG, I would say that average would hold for flavored juices as well.

Calories in Dow Chemical Glycerine, Usp 99.7% & 96%, Dow Chem. 6/10/05 - Nutritional Information and Diet Info

and wikipedia for the densities of both chemicals (1.036 g/ml for PG, and 1.261 g/ml for VG)

and assuming my math was correct - I rounded a few things.

So if a person vapes 5ml a day (heavy vaper), that's 28+/- calories a day, assuming it is all absorbed, which it probably isn't.

I have never given it much thought but I vape around 5mils a day my weight has not changed any..
